per comment from APW in #ubuntu-release on 7/21/2011 - kernel was ready to be copied to proposed.

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

Hardware certification will test this kernel on all the servers in our labs and perform a best effort check on a selection of other hardware.

[C de-Avillez (hggdh2)]

Ran a *very* reduced test sequence: installed the ISO, upgraded to -proposed, rebooted, and:

(1) ran the QRT on KVM and two bare-metal;
(2) ran the UEC tests on the two bare-metal machines (sapodilla and soncoya).

No regressions observed, and UEC tests succeeded.

The regression-testing task was set to Fix Released but neither the qa-testing-passed or qa-testing-failed tag was applied

[Herton R. Krzesinski (herton)]

Fixing the tag so the bot doesn't complain.

[Brendan Donegan (brendan-donegan)]

Hardware certification have completed the requested abbreviated testing on all functioning servers and a sample of desktops/laptops. 4 systems did not return results but we have high confidence these are known lab issues. The results are published here:

Go for it! :)

[Kees Cook (kees)]

(Actually, since this isn't a security regression, this shouldn't go through -security)
